Yaw Annor has gone, the accounts have $44.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bechem United, and it is not being withdrawn.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bechem United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Great Olympics paid $44.0K and Bechem United took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Asante Kotoko next, and one man in the Bechem United dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
The name of Yaw Annor has come up in conversations Bechem United were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jonathan Mensah and Bechem United agree another 3 years.
Isaiah Nyarko and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Words at Bechem United training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Augustine Afranie is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bechem United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kwadwo Kudus has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Francis Kudus has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Harrison Baba is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gladson Kyereh has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Bechem United will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Augustine Okrah and Bechem United agree another 2 years.
Isaiah Nyarko was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Augustine Afranie was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Amadu Abdulai has his answer from Bechem United; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
